i refuse to accept your version of reality

This would be the version where I wake up, get ready, feel that niggling in the back of my head that means a migraine is coming on. Logic says this means a migraine is coming on. I do? Nothing about it.

I go the supermarket. While I'm struggling back, I have a couple of clouds float across my left eye and the niggling bits in the back of my head turn into bits of pain. Logic says this means a migraine is coming on. I do? Nothing about it.

I struggle off to my appointment with the person who listens to my romantic gossip mixed in with moments of intense silence where I try not to scream as she pours hot wax on my nethers. The pain is worse but that kind of pales in comparison to the pain from elsewhere. Logic says I should perhaps rethink the hot wax since I'm not actually seeing anyone and also... a migraine is coming on. I do? Make another appointment and.. nothing about it.

I go to my friend's place for tea, a three year old and a seven month old with screaming that makes the pain in my head much worse and the nausea increase. Logic says I should probably accept what's staring me in the face. I do? Finally something about it. Of course it's a little late by now so my friend has to load her two children in whilst the three year old screams hysterically and I'm trying not to puke. I finally manage to get to the bathroom, undress whilst leaning against the wall and throw myself to the bottom of the shower.. for an hour... whilst musing about how the feeling of my scalp being on fire is a new migraine symptom and is actually quite interesting.

Logic says take the fucking pills when you know the migraine is coming on you idiot. I do? Nothing about it ;)
